If you're using investments for cash savings, it MUST be liquidated when you apply for the visa.

You will need to prove you meet the same financial requirement for the next visa in 2.5 years, so it depends on whether you will need to use £62,500 in savings again, or if you will be able to meet the requirements under a different category.

Once you have the spousal visa, your UK income can count for the visa extension in 2.5 years.

We did have one person a few months ago who was in the situation that they had used cash savings to meet the requirements for the initial spousal visa, but then they used it to buy property... unfortunately, their hopes for steady employment didn't quite pan out and 2 years later, they were facing the possibility that they might not be able to qualify to stay in the UK. They were desperately trying to find a job that would be able to meet the requirements.

Just something to consider, since you never know what life will bring and what financial/employment situation you'll be in a couple of years later.
Thanks for clarifying! I wasn't sure.
